A cleaning device comprises a surface interaction layer (ML), a cleaning fluid supply (CFF) provided with a cleaning fluid channel (CFC) at the surface interaction layer (ML) for supplying a cleaning fluid to a surface (F) through the surface interaction layer (ML) being in contact with the surface (F), and a dirty fluid drain (DFD) having a dirty fluid channel (DFC) at the surface interaction layer (ML) for draining, by means of underpressure, dirty water from the surface (F) through the surface interaction layer (ML) being in contact with the surface (F).

Apparatus and method for adjusting a height of a suction chamber of a vacuum cleaner relative to a target cleaning surface. The vacuum cleaner includes a compressible cleaning sheet, such that as a user selectively executes different motions and/or applies different forces to a handle of the vacuum cleaner, the cleaning sheet compresses or uncompresses, dynamically adjusting the height of the suction chamber.

A toilet clearing vacuum attachment apparatus for clearing a clogged toilet includes a rigid connector. The connector is cylindrical and configured to attach to an intake of a wet vacuum. A hose is coupled to the connector. The hose has a cylindrical portion extending from the connector and a D-shaped toilet portion extending from the cylindrical portion. A rigid tip is coupled to a distal end of the toilet portion of the hose. The rigid tip is an extruded D-shape configured to fit within a trap of a toilet.

Methods and apparatus for cleaning a surface with a cleaning device having a body with a handle, a connector, and one or more cleaning heads that are removably attached to the cleaning device are disclosed. Each cleaning head includes a lower surface arranged to contact a surface to be cleaned, a dirt collection chamber, and a pocket arranged to receive an insert of the connector to attach the cleaning head to the cleaning device. In some embodiments, the connector insert is pivotally connected to the connector. In some embodiments, the cleaning head includes a support structure and a cleaning sheet, with the pocket being formed between the support structure and the cleaning sheet.

A suction hose for a vacuum cleaner including a hose portion, which has a flexible dust removal hose body and a flexible jacket hose body, in which the dust removal hose body is arranged, wherein a suction flow channel for conducting a suction flow to the vacuum cleaner extends between longitudinal ends of the hose portion, which suction flow channel is bounded by a hose jacket of the dust removal hose body, a connection piece for connecting to the hand-held power tool or to the vacuum cleaner is arranged at at least one longitudinal end of the hose portion, and the jacket hose body and the dust removal hose body extend into an interior of a hose receptacle of the connection piece such that the dust removal hose body is sheathed by the jacket hose body into the hose receptacle.

An apparatus for cleaning earphones that includes a brush element, a positioning element, and a motive element. A brush element selectively contacts and removes debris from an earphone, and a positioning element supports the earphone in a desired position relative to the brush element. A motive element is configured to move the brush element relative to the earphone. A corresponding system and method are also disclosed and claimed herein.

The invention relates to a device (1) for removing a bodily fluid, particularly nasal fluid applying a vacuum source, preferably a vacuum cleaner, comprising a body adapted for receiving a collector vessel fitted with a suction inlet opening and an outlet opening, and an interconnection pipe fitted with a connection member connecting the outlet opening to the vacuum source. The device according to the invention is characterised in that the body thereof consists of a suction bell (2) comprising, at one end, an opening (16) receiving a torch-shaped member (5) having a suction cone (6), and, at the other end, a central member (4), and a discharge bell (3) that is connected to the suction bell (2) under the central member (4) and is fitted with a connection pipe (7) at its end situated opposite the central member (4).

Provided is a mopping extension attachable to a robotic floor cleaning device including: a fluid reservoir for storing one or more cleaning fluids; a cloth for receiving the one or more cleaning fluids, wherein the cloth is oriented toward the work surface; and, at least one or more dispersed nozzle sets for controlling delivery of the one or more cleaning fluids to the cloth.

A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a drive wheel, and a wheel stop. The drive wheel can be connected to the body and can be operable to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment. The wheel stop can be movable with respect to the body and the drive wheel between a stop position and a release position. The wheel stop can be engageable with the drive wheel in the stop position to limit vertical travel of the drive wheel with respect to the body.

Provided is an autonomous coverage robot including: a chassis; a set of wheels; a plurality of sensors; and a mopping assembly including: a fluid reservoir for storing a cleaning fluid; a cloth for receiving the cleaning fluid, wherein the cloth is oriented toward a work surface; a means to move at least the cloth of the mopping assembly up and down in a plane perpendicular to the work surface, wherein the means to move at least the cloth of the mopping assembly up and down is controlled automatically based on input provided by at least one of the plurality of sensors; and a means to move at least a portion of the mopping assembly back and forth in a plane parallel to the work surface.
